Let's shine this Holiday Season with Michael Kors!

Holiday time is time to shine! And I am surely going to shine bright with my new Michael Kors black Darci timepiece. Inspired by celestial element the Darci is Holiday ready thanks to the embellishment with stars and crystals. The all-over pavé bezel is a true eye-catcher and will ensure you are the brightest star this Holiday Season. The black strap makes the watch sleek and elegant at the same time. The Darci will be my must-have item during the Holidays and I can't wait to team it with my favourite party wear. The streamline shape and its black colour make the Darci modern and super-wearable well past the Holiday Season paired for example with skinny jeans, a blazer and a crisp white tee. Wear your Darci alone or paired with a sleek bangle for added glamour. I am pairing mine with the Pavé silver-tone Lock Charm bangle. Thanks to its sleek design and high-shine finish it gives any outfit a glamourous edge.

Happy Holidays!

Inspired from Scandinavian style and Artict landscapes with their colour and atmosphere this collection gives us contrasting textures that go from metallic to holographic finishes but also matte and glitter with beautiful reflections.

Some of my favourite products of the collection include the Strobing Face Serum, perfect to prepare skin for makeup while brightening and perfecting it and the Stick Highlighter. Thanks to its metallic finish it gives skin a beautiful glow and it is super easy to apply. I am also a fan of the All-in-one Face Palette, this palette has everything you need for a flawless makeup. It includes 2 face-sculpting powders, a blush, an highlighter and nine eyeshadows. The blush and eyeshadows can be mixed to create endless looks. The tree and snowman makeup blenders are not only super cute but also make for great stocking fillers. All in all a fab collection of must-haves products not to be missed this Holidayseason!

Nicky Minaj stars in this year H&M's Holiday campaign film alongside Jesse Williams and John Turturro. The film directed by Johan Renck is a modern take on classic fairytale about an heroic little girl who tracks down the evil brother of Santa Claus to save the Holiday season from his selfishness.

“I love the film's over all empowering message. I love seeing this young girl become the champion that lives in all of us.There's always magic in the air during the Holidays,”

         Nicki Minaj 

“It’s exciting to see our festive designs come to life together with such inspirational talents. 
They definitely added some extra magic to the film and we hope that our customers will love how the fashion is presented throughout the holiday season at H&M,” 

says Pernilla Wohlfahrt, H&M’s Head of Design and Creative Director.

Holiday Look Inspiration (Part two)

Here it is with my second Holiday Look inspiration and it is once again a beautiful total look H&M.

I went for black but with a twist. The simple black top thanks to the bell sleeves becomes precious and therefore perfect for the Holidays. I chose to pair It with a faux-leather trousers with front buttons. I like these trousers as they can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. For me they are an absolute Holiday must-have item! In this case I dressed them up with a pair of glitzy silver ankle boots but they can be worn just as well with a pair of boots or trainers and a comfy sweater.

I hope you liked this look !

Say It with a flower: a Star for you!

Holiday time can only mean one thing Christmas Star time. The poinsettia or also known as Christmas Star is truly the star of the Holidayseason. Thanks to its bright colour star-shaped bracts and lush  green foliage It brings cheer in the house. Poinsettias of course make for some wonderful Christmas room decorations and are very popular among people of all ages.

However what we often don't think is that poinsettias make for great Christmas gifts! A poinsettia given to someone you love is always a beautiful gift and surely much appreciated.

In the run up to Christmas we often forget the real meaning of Christmas which is to spend time with family, friends and loved ones. Let's bring back the original meaning of Christmas for example by visiting a friend or a relative that we haven't seen in a long time and by giving them a Christmas Star as gift. Surely the Christmas Star will be much appreciated as it is not only a symbol of Christmas but thanks its variety and diversity hardly anyone will resist its charm. It is a wonderful and uncomplicated gift to express big feelings in an easy and simple way.

If you are DIY fan why not try to create a tailor-made decoration with the poinsettias and this way create original gifts? The Christmas Star really lends Christmas flair to such new creations.

I am giving you some ideas and inspirations with the handcrafted Christmas decorations and gifts I have created with the beautiful Poinsettias.

The beautiful winter bloomer really offers unlimited possibilities to create personalised gifts. Transform a simple pot into an handmade decorative pot or use a different than usual planter and give someone a truly unique gift!

If you use Poinsettia as cut flowers you can use them to adorn your gifts, to highlight bouquets, table arrangements and vases. You can really create some beautiful  Poinsettia gifts to suit anyone's style and taste thanks to diversity of the plant.
